How exceedingly appropriate and well
timed the utterance of this sentiment which
occurred In the patriotic address of Justice.
Miller delivered at the constitutional CEN
tennial last Saturday In Philadelphia: Let
me urge upon my fellow countrymen, and
especially upon the rising generation of
them, TO examine with careful scrutiny all
new theories of government and of social
life, and If they do not rest upon founda-
tion and veneration of law as the bond of
social existence, let him distrust them as
inimical to human happiness"

by material energy snd lively enterprise

The other day delegation Of citizens
Of Newton visited Fort Scott to inspect
the sugar works about which so much has
been said Of late, to see how 1t was done.
The editor of the Republican was one Of
the visiting delegation, and on his return
he gave two-column account of what he
saw and learned about the process Of sugar
making. This visit and write-up and the

neighbors to action; the Republican an

SCOTT COUNTY REPUBLICANS.

The Republican County Convention of
Scott county was held in Cases hall, this
city, last Satur =. H. L. Walton was
nominated for register of deeds; L. l..
Bingaman, for county clerk; A. R. Lasley,
for county treasurer: W. s. Starr, for
sheriff; NJ. c. Lint, for county surveyor;
Miss Lula Boiling, for county superintend-
ent, and F. II. Smallwood for county
coroner
Mr. Hollister was nominated for county
commissioner in the district composed of
the townships of Michigan, Keystone and
Lalse; and Mr.. Silvey for the district COM
posed Of Valley and Isbel.
Ringing resolutions were adopted. The
convention was a synonym Of harmony.

Senator Ingalls, call for blood, in the
fisheries dispute with England. will not be

United States to refer to a joint commits

War is to be deprecated under any cir
cumstances and resort to such terrible
arbitrament can only be justified where
every other expedient has been tried to no
purpose. But 1t seems to US, as 1t certain
ly did to Senator Ingalls,, that seventy
years was about long enough time to waste
In futile efforts to peacably adjust the
vexed question under which American
citizens had suffered unmitigated indigni-
ties and prosecutions from English sub
jects under the protection of the English
government, and Senator Ingalls, felt as a
vast msjofity Of the citizens of the United
States felt that such condition should have
an ending, ard, further, there is no
sort of doubt in our mind
that the unmistsksble language Of Senator
Ingalls, In the United States Senate on the
fisheries question, which but voiced the
sentiment of the people! Of this country,
had very much to do with producing q
willingness on the part Of the government
Of Great Britain to submit the vexed ques-
ton to commission for peaceable settle
ment. Senator ingalls,, as all true Ameri-
cans, only wanted the right, but was de-
term!ned to have 1t even II 1t should re-
Quire war to secure 1t. That was and Is all

For the treatment Of poisonous bites or
wounds made by insects, an eminent
physician and lecturer advises al fol-
lows:
Apply hartshorn, cologne water or vim
egar directly to the wound. A poultice
of ipecac has been recommended for the
same purpose.
This is all the treatment hat is needed

a person may he stung by n great many
bees or wasps at once. In such cases

Poisonous wounds made by spiders,

the same way as those made by insects,
that is, by the direct application of harts-

According to the drift Of the Negro
Press through thR country, IN rela-
ton to politics, and according to the
principal sentiment of the colored
eliment, they seem to be at a loss to
q great extent, as to whether they
owe their allegiance to the republl-
can party yet, or whetherit would be
wise to renounce all fellowship with
present political parties in general,
and drift off into an independent
channel, to be showed under III eV-
ery particular concerning politics,
and public recognition. The Negro
ought not, and really does not know,
nor care to support no political party
but the republican party. When h(
leaves the republican party, to Jol1

stigmatized and considered to Dt
retrograding both intellectually anc
morally. Entwine yourselves more
